MORGANTOWN--Mountaineer head coach Bill Stewart is monitoring the Reed Williams situation several times a day and though he told his press conference the 6-2, 225-pound senior "would play this week," he drew a bit more conservative about it later in the day.

"I don't know, I'm watching it. You know I recruited Reed. He is as close as anyone to me on the team. We don't want to do anything that would get him more hurt. We'll take it one day at a time."
